Why Annual Health Checkups Aren’t Actually Annual — And Why That Matters

Many people proudly say, “I do my annual tests.”

But a closer look reveals gaps — skipped years, partial panels, inconsistent markers, different labs, no trend tracking.

Health surveillance only works when it’s continuous.

The Problem with One-Off Testing

Single reports offer snapshots. Health requires a timeline.

Without longitudinal data:

• Gradual cholesterol rise is missed

• Slowly declining kidney function looks “normal”

• Worsening insulin resistance escapes detection

• Inflammatory markers fluctuate unnoticed

Diseases aren’t sudden events. They’re slow processes.
